Day 2 - Monday, May 19, 2008 We had our first prayer walk down Avenida las Delicias. In the morning, we walked along what is known as the Bridle Path, which runs down the middle of the street. We prayed for the professionals that work in the businesses along the road. We also went in the Chamber of Commerce and prayed for the Bennett's upcoming two seminars. We visited an orphanage for boys. We left a Spanish Book of John in the orphanage. We stopped for lunch and Mike prepared a traditional Venezuelan meal called pabellon. It was delicious. We can share pictures later. After a siesta, we went on an automated prayer drive in the car. We saw an overview of downtown Maracay and one of the surrounding neighborhoods. We stopped into a public hospital and prayed for the doctors who will be attending another seminar that Mike and Jan are planning. Now we are off to a couples' Bible study (en Espanol, of course). We had a good day and look forward to tomorrow. The 3 Ms |

May 18, 2008 Dear Church Family, We've arrived in Caracas safely at 5:30am. After a 2-hr drive to Maracay, we had a quite day resting and spending time with Jan and Mike. Michael and Margaret went with Mike to a church seminar about ministering to professionals (seminar was in Spannish and people were very friendly, but we kept on nodding our heads not knowing what they were saying...) The other Margaret stayed home for a snooze and spent time with Jan. We are turning in early ready for an early morning prayer walk. Thanks for praying for us. MMM
